Apophatic Theology, also known as negative theology, is a theological approach that emphasizes what cannot be said about the divine. Instead of defining God through positive attributes, it focuses on negating human concepts and descriptions, asserting that God transcends all understanding and language. This method highlights the limitations of human knowledge in grasping the essence of the divine. This approach is often contrasted with cataphatic theology, which seeks to describe God through affirmative statements. Apophatic Theology has roots in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and is particularly associated with early Christian mystics and philosophers like Pseud Dionysius the Areopagite.
